Reality Adlib Tracker

A downloadable music tracker for Windows and macOS

FM Music Tracker with player source-code (v2.0a)

RAD, as with all old-school music trackers, is a program that allows you to author musical arrangements. It was based more-or-less on Protracker (on the Amiga) which is the model that most music trackers seem to be based on.

RAD tune files are tiny (examples are included in the download) and player source-code is included so you can easily include your finished music tracks in your own games.

Tracker tunes are made up of three main components:

Instruments

Order list

Patterns (tracks)

Essentially your patterns will hold the notes of your tune, where each note is played using an Instrument, has various Effects applied to them, and are pieced together into an Order List that orders the play-back of your patterns.
